Silverado Santa

Well, let me tell you a yuletide tale that's hard to believe 'Bout a one-stop Georgia map dot town back in 1983 Well, the mill closed down and everybody's well ran dry Sure felt like the Grinch stole all the joy in sight Then midnight came on Christmas Eve I'll never forget that sound I looked out my window through the silent night Saw him come to town It was Silverado Santa Flying 'cross the river and through the woods In his cherry red Chevy sleigh KC lights bright as downtown Atlanta Jingle Bell Rock on the PA, tinsel on the tailgate In a town where Christmas might not have came But here comes Silverado Santa to save the day He left a case of sweet peppermint shine On the courthouse porch Decorated our sleepy little county square Like no one had seen before Left enough toys 'neath the sycamore tree For every boy and girl Next thing we knew The whole dang town was singing "Joy to the World" 'Cause of Silverado Santa Flying 'cross the river and through the woods In his cherry red Chevy sleigh KC lights bright as downtown Atlanta Jingle Bell Rock on the PA, tinsel on the tailgate In a town where Christmas might not have came But here comes Silverado Santa to save the day Oh, yeah, ho, ho, ho Some say it was Chris from the hardware store Some say somebody from the county next door They can say what they want but I know what I seen And I'll always believe In that Silverado Santa Flying 'cross the river and through the woods In his cherry red Chevy sleigh KC lights bright as downtown Atlanta Jingle Bell Rock on the PA, tinsel on the tailgate In a town where Christmas might not have came But here comes Silverado Santa Yeah, Silverado Santa Here comes Silverado Santa to save the day Merry Christmas everybody
